Abstract
1,3,5-Triazine scaffold has garnered considerable interest due to its wide-ranging pharmacological properties, particularly in the field of cancer research. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Approximately one in eight women will receive a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. The five-year survival rate for invasive breast cancer is less than 30 %, indicating a need to develop a more effective therapeutic agent targeting breast cancer. This review discusses bioactive 1,3,5-triazines targeting breast cancer cells by the inhibition of different enzymes, which include PI3K, mTOR, EGFR, VEGFR, FAK, CDK, DHFR, DNA topoisomerase, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, and matrix metalloproteinase. The anticancer agent search in some drug discovery programs is based on compound screening for antiproliferative activity. Often, multiple targets contribute to the anticancer effect of 1,3,5-triazines and this approach allows identification of active molecules prior to identification of their targets.

Abstract
Despite significant progress in immunotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy of leukemia, chemotherapy is the major treatment option for the disease. Therefore, the development of potent and safe drugs for standard and targeted chemotherapy of leukemia remains an important task for medicinal chemists. A library of 94 diverse 6-aryl-4-cycloamino-1,3,5-triazine-2-amines was prepared using a one-pot microwave-assisted protocol, which involves a three-component reaction of cyanoguanidine, aromatic aldehydes and cyclic amines, and subsequent dehydrogenative aromatization of the dihydrotriazine intermediates in the presence of alkali. The cytotoxic properties of prepared compounds were evaluated against the leukemic Jurkat T cell line and the selectivity of the 24 most active compounds was also assessed using a normal fibroblast MRC-5 cell line, indicating selective antiproliferative activity against leukemic cells. The structure-activity relationship was analysed, and the prepared 3D-QSAR model was found to predict the antileukemic activity of the compounds with reasonable accuracy. In the cell morphology study, both apoptosis and necrosis features were observed in Jurkat T cells after treatment with the most active compound.

Abstract
Polynuclear platinum(II) complexes represent a class of great prospective Pt-based antitumor drugs that may expand the antitumor spectrum and overcome the clinical problems of drug resistance and side effects of platinum-based drugs. Herein, a novel star-shaped trinuclear platinum(II) complex [Pt3(L-3H)Cl3] (1, L = 2,4,6-tris[(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine]-1,3,5-triazine) and its monomer [Pt(L'-H)Cl] (2, L' = (2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) were synthesized and characterized. The in vitro antiproliferative activities of complexes 1 and 2 against a panel of human cancer cell lines including MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative breast cancer, TNBC), MCF-7 (breast), HepG-2 (liver), and A549 (lung) were investigated. The results revealed that 1 exhibited much higher antiproliferative properties than its monomer 2 against the tested cell lines. Importantly, 1 possessed 3.3-fold higher antiproliferative activity as compared with cisplatin against the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231. Another TNBC cell line MDA-MB-468 is also sensitive to 1. The results indicated that 1 might have the potential to act as a candidate for the treatment of TNBC. Cellular uptake and distribution studies showed that 1 could pass through the membrane of cells and enter into cells and mainly accumulate in the nuclei and mitochondria. 1 could bind to DNA in a cooperative groove-electrostatic-platinating binding mode and induce stronger DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and damaging effects on MDA-MB-231 than cisplatin (upregulation of γ-H2AX). Moreover, the DNA damage could not be easily repaired (upregulation of p53), which would exert a much positive influence on the overcoming of drug resistance. Additionally, flow cytometry studies showed that 1 arrested the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase, induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization, increased ROS generation, and induced cell apoptosis. The results demonstrated that 1 could target simultaneously mitochondria and nuclei that gave rise to mitochondrial injury and DNA damage and ultimately efficiently promote the apoptotic death of tumor cells. Further mechanistic studies showed that 1 induced MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis via the p53-mediated mitochondrial pathway by upregulating Bax and cytochrome c and downregulating Bcl-2 proteins, leading to the activation of caspase-3 and upregulation of the cleaved-PARP level. Taken together, 1 with such a synergic mechanism has great potential to be an effective anticancer agent that can overcome treatment resistance in TNBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Triazine is a six-membered aromatic nitrogen heterocyclic moiety that was extensively investigated because of its biological properties and, in particular anticancer potentials. Kinases play a crucial role in cancer cell proliferation and metabolism. Triazine derivatives show anticancer activity by inhibiting the lipid kinases like phosphoinositide 3-kinases, mammalian target of rapamycin, receptor tyrosine kinases, like focal adhesion kinase, cyclin-dependent kinases, Rho-associated protein kinases, p21-activated kinases, carbonic anhydrases, enolase inhibitors, microtubules inhibitors, and histone deacetylases. The present chapter highlights the synthesis of triazine-based derivatives, their characterization, evaluation of anticancer properties, and their journey towards possible medicine for cancer.

Abstract
An effective strategy for successful chemotherapy relies on creating compounds with high selectivity against cancer cells compared to normal cells and relatively low cytotoxicity. One such approach is the discovery of critical points in cancer cells, i.e., where specific enzymes that are potential therapeutic targets are generated. Triazine is a six-membered heterocyclic ring compound with three nitrogen replacing carbon-hydrogen units in the benzene ring structure. The subject of this review is the symmetrical 1,3,5-triazine, known as s-triazine. 1,3,5-triazine is one of the oldest heterocyclic compounds available. Because of its low cost and high availability, it has attracted researcher attention for novel synthesis. s-Triazine has a weak base, it has much weaker resonance energy than benzene, therefore, nucleophilic substitution is preferred to electrophilic substitution. Heterocyclic bearing a symmetrical s-triazine core represents an interesting class of compounds possessing a wide spectrum of biological properties such as anti-cancer, antiviral, fungicidal, insecticidal, bactericidal, herbicidal and antimicrobial, antimalarial agents. They also have applications as dyes, lubricants, and analytical reagents. Hence, the group of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives has developed over the years. Triazine is not only the core amongst them, but is also a factor increasing the kinetic potential of the entire derivatives. Modifying the structure and introducing new substituents makes it possible to obtain compounds with broad inhibitory activity on processes such as proliferation. In some cases, s-triazine derivatives induce cell apoptosis. In this review we will present currently investigated 1,3,5-triazine derivatives with anti-cancer activities, with particular emphasis on their inhibition of enzymes involved in the process of tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Among all cancer types, breast cancer (BC) still stands as one of the most serious diseases responsible for a large number of cancer-associated deaths among women worldwide, and diagnosed cases are increasing year by year worldwide. For a very long time, hormonal therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were used for breast cancer treatment. However, these treatment approaches are becoming progressively futile because of multidrug resistance and serious side effects. Consequently, there is a pressing demand to develop more efficient and safer agents that can fight breast cancer belligerence and inhibit cancer cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Currently, there is an avalanche of newly designed and synthesized molecular entities targeting multiple types of breast cancer. This review highlights several important synthesized compounds with promising anti-BC activity that are categorized according to their chemical structures.

Abstract
AbstractA new method for the fast synthesis of diverse 4-aryl-6-cycloamino-1,3,5-triazin-2-amines was developed. The synthesis is performed under microwave irradiation in a one-pot manner from cyanoguanidine, aromatic aldehydes, and cyclic amines. Their three-component reaction in the presence of hydrochloric acid produced dihydrotriazines, which were then converted (without isolation) into the targeted compounds via aromatic dehydrogenation in the presence of alkali. The reaction tolerated various aromatic aldehydes (including heterocyclic) and cyclic amines. Crystal structures of two representative 4-aryl-6-morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-amines were established by X-ray crystallography. The results of preliminary biological screening identified potent antileukemic activity for 6-[3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl]-4-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine.

Abstract
Based on the “plug-in molecular” method, a series of novel strobilurin derivatives with aryloxypyridinyl-1-ethanone oxime side chains were designed, synthesized, and screened. The biological activity experiment showed that they had an excellent fungicidal effect on plant pathogens, especially Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Compounds 5-01 and 5-09 had significant fungicidal activity and broad fungicidal spectrum. The structure–activity relationship indicates that the cis configuration, increasing the number of pharmacophores, substitution of the 2 position of the pyridine ring, and the introduction of chlorine atom on the benzene ring were not conducive to the fungicidal activity of such compounds. The model of 3D-QSAR indicated the introduction of large electropositive groups at the 4 position of the benzene ring and the introduction of small electronegative groups at the 2 position of the benzene ring were beneficial to the fungicidal activity, and compounds 6 were designed. Compared with azoxystrobin, compound 6-02 had a more effective fungicidal effect against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. Cytotoxicity test and transmission electron microscopy showed that the modification of strobilurins fungicide by the “plug-in molecular” method would not affect its toxicity and mechanism. The “plug-in molecular” method is an efficient method for screening highly active compounds, which has important guiding significance for creating new pesticide molecules. In this study, the “plug-in molecular” method was firstly used to screen new strobilurin fungicides. The results indicated this is a highly efficient screening method for active compounds with guiding significance for the synthesis of new pesticides.![]()

Abstract
New 6,N2-diaryl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines were designed using the 3D-QSAR model developed earlier. These compounds were prepared and their antiproliferative activity was evaluated against three breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB231, SKBR-3 and MCF-7) and non-cancerous MCF-10A epithelial breast cells. The synthesized compounds demonstrated selective antiproliferative activity against triple negative MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells. The most active compound in the series inhibited MDA-MB231 breast cancer cell growth with a GI50 value of 1 nM. None of the tested compounds significantly affected the growth of the normal breast cells. The time-dependent cytotoxic effect, observed when cytotoxicity was assessed at different time intervals after the treatment, and morphological features, observed in the fluorescence microscopy and live cell imaging experiments, suggested apoptosis as the main pathway for the antiproliferative activity of these compounds against MDA-MB231 cells. New highly potent and selective 6,N2-diaryl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines were designed and prepared using the 3D-QSAR model developed earlier.![]()
